Gadolinium acetate is the acetate salt of the lanthanide element gadolinium, with the chemical formula Gd(CH3COO)3. It is a colorless crystal that is soluble in water and can form a hydrate. [1] Its tetrahydrate has ground state ferromagnetism. [2]

Contents

Preparation

The tetrahydrate of gadolinium acetate can be crystallized from aqueous solution by reaction of gadolinium oxide and acetic acid: [2]

Gd2O3 + 6 HOAc + 5 H2O → [(Gd(OAc)3(H2O)2)2]·4H2O

Properties

The complex [Gd4(CH3COO)4(acac)8(H2O)4] can be obtained by the reflux reaction of gadolinium acetate and acetylacetone in the presence of triethylamine in methanol solution. [3]

Gadolinium is a chemical element; it has symbol Gd and atomic number 64. Gadolinium is a silvery-white metal when oxidation is removed. It is a malleable and ductile rare-earth element. Gadolinium reacts with atmospheric oxygen or moisture slowly to form a black coating. Gadolinium below its Curie point of 20 °C (68 °F) is ferromagnetic, with an attraction to a magnetic field higher than that of nickel. Above this temperature it is the most paramagnetic element. It is found in nature only in an oxidized form. When separated, it usually has impurities of the other rare earths because of their similar chemical properties.

A single-molecule magnet (SMM) is a metal-organic compound that has superparamagnetic behavior below a certain blocking temperature at the molecular scale. In this temperature range, an SMM exhibits magnetic hysteresis of purely molecular origin. In contrast to conventional bulk magnets and molecule-based magnets, collective long-range magnetic ordering of magnetic moments is not necessary.

Gadolinium(III) chloride, also known as gadolinium trichloride, is GdCl3. It is a colorless, hygroscopic, water-soluble solid. The hexahydrate GdCl3∙6H2O is commonly encountered and is sometimes also called gadolinium trichloride. Gd3+ species are of special interest because the ion has the maximum number of unpaired spins possible, at least for known elements. With seven valence electrons and seven available f-orbitals, all seven electrons are unpaired and symmetrically arranged around the metal. The high magnetism and high symmetry combine to make Gd3+ a useful component in NMR spectroscopy and MRI.
